“If the gentleman offers it, if he votes this one down, let him offer some amendment that will make this constitutional, and then maybe we can talk about supporting it, Mr. Chairman. However, do not come in here and say ``Oh, no, yesterday you struck the rest of my bill.'' This does not strike one iota of his bill, yet it is still not satisfactory to him. If he wants something, draft it and put it in and let us talk about it. That is what this House is all about. That is what we came here for. But do not be picayune with me.”
